you know, going into this i didn't think that having a large stomach/body fat could be a liability in MMA...

he's just so slow, even with a slow upper coming at him it tkes him forever to get his hands up

Nelson is a nice story and a fun guy to root for but Im not so sure he can survive against the elite UFC heavys.
From what I've seen he has a great chin, he would just be better if he lost one or two of them and conditioned himself :lol

i wonder how easy/hard/feasible it would be for him to drop down to 205. I mean, say what you will but the guy is still an athlete, probably trains hard as fuck and still has a belly, maybe he's just a naturally, genetically portly guy no matter what.

I have no idea why he isn't mixing it up and instead is just throwing punches.
Yeah and Country elbows are so high up I bet any decent fighter can sneak in a nice kick to the mid section.

205 is a dream really, but IDK it might be possible. I'll say this though, I thought he was more like 280-290 than 263,
 
I think Roy's been gassed since fairly early in the first round, since he wasted a lot of energy trying to take Dos Santos down with that first attempt.
